Achievers University, Owo, has warned prospective students, parents and members of the public against fraudulent individuals and unauthorised online platforms impersonating the university and its officers.

The warning followed the attention of the university management to the activities of individuals and platforms circulating misleading admission advertisements and claiming to facilitate undergraduate and postgraduate admission, Direct Entry, inter-university transfer, JUPEB/IJMB, screening, admission-list verification, clearance and other university-related services.

It also warned against processing admission, clearance, transfer or other university services through unofficial websites, social media accounts, unsolicited messages or unauthorised personal contacts.

The university further urged applicants to verify the authenticity of any admission offer, payment request, advertisement, telephone call or online message bearing the name of Achievers University before responding or making any payment.

For official information, applicants are advised to use the university's website at www.achievers.edu.ng, admission portal at https://admission.achievers.edu.ng, and application portal at https://apply.achievers.edu.ng.
